United States DC Circuit

In a prosecution for travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, the district court's order of supervised release is affirmed in part where the court's analysis of defendant's term of supervised release under the 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a) factors made applicable by section 3583(c) did not rebut the presumption established by the within Guidelines sentence. However, the order is vacated in part where the 30-year prohibition on the possession and use of computers - a prohibition not subject to modification by the probation office - was substantively unreasonable.
